Hi all, Hope everyone is doing well. A while back I had started thinking about my bar build and was reading a lot here and asking questions, then life happened, the pandemic happened, a move/house renovation was delayed and now things are settling down so I want to get back to the bar building...

No, so thank you for replying. It's good to know most of the weight will be in the wood. I too, was thinking of using at least one gas strut. I'm also going to be replacing the freezer lid with one built from wood. Can I ask how you got it sealed well? I'm thinking I'll be using 2x10 based on...

Thanks for this. What I'm trying to figure out is where to route the hose since I'm not just having a single stack with a t at the top. I'm going up to an elbow, across to 4 taps, elbow and back down into the lid. So if I just let the hose sit at the bottom of the first riser pointing up that...

He's good there. His doctors know he brews and tho he has to limit how much he can have in a week, where it comes from isn't a concern for them. He can't do tap soda or tap water but they weren't worried about beer (I think they're figuring you can't live in a bubble so there's always some...

Well then that makes the tap purchase easy. Thanks for the input. Right now I'm focused on kitchen reno, that we didn't plan to do but trying to make a few small cabinet changes wasn't going to be as easy as I thought. The bar wall went up today so we're making some progress but all in good...

Yep, I confirmed with my 2 friends that homebrew and keg that they use Ball lock kegs so we're good there. I don't, and don't plan to start. Too many other hobbies. I just like to drink it, tho I've helped them brew a few times. I don't have the exact well depth handy but on the hump it was...

Not sure if this will help anyone but I did a drawing in SmartDraw online with the measured inside dimensions without the hump of the Lowes 8.8 cu ft one and then 9 1/4" circles. With 4 of them I still have a bit of wiggle room and since I plan to have 3 sixtels and a soda keg, with one of those...

Since those circles are actually 1/2" bigger than sixtels, I'm thinking 3 will definitely fit fine and then room for either a 4th or a 9" soda keg which is why our home brewing friends use, right? We tend to be "variety" drinkers.... read as, "we have a lot of random 4 packs and such that we get...

Thanks! My thought was to run some pipe insulation up in the tower so I may go to 2-1/2" pipe to be safe. Think I found a chest freezer that'll work for 3 1/6s and a soda keg and possibly even 4 1/6s. I cut cardboard at 9-3/4" for extra room and here's how they lay out in a Lowes 8.8cu ft...

Hi all, Thank you to those who talked me out of buying that 7cu ft freezer I saw and confirmed I could NOT get 4 1/6s in it. I've been looking through this thread https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/chest-freezer-specs-and-layouts.377518/page-18 and I'm now neck deep in web browser...

This is very helpful, thank you! It sounds like with a collar since I need it for height anyway I'd be fine either way. I think I need 31" outside flange to outside flange for my taps so that should be OK too. I didn't realize ball lock VS pin lock would have possibly different sizes. I...

Hi all, I'm very new to all this and we are in the process of finishing a basement where we'll put a bar in. I don't home brew (yet) but have two friends that do. I'd like to have 4 taps going and from reading here, thought a 7cu ft fridge would be enough but now that I have a chance to buy one...
